CAS-Carrera Program Performance

The Children’s Aid Society (CAS) – Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program helps young people (from 5th grade through high school graduation) to avoid pregnancy and other risky sexual behavior.


An evaluation by Philliber Research Associates found that the CAS –Carrera Program yielded a 50% reduction in birth rates for participants living in the communities it served, along with other positive outcomes, including increased likelihood of high-school graduation and college admission, increased employment experience, higher fiscal responsibility among youth, and increased adoption of healthy living practices. The program is the only fully evaluated teenage pregnancy prevention program with statistically proven effectiveness in the country.
